[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9487257, member: 58172"] [USER=6680]@OptionalRule[/USER] Most of the time, when players declare their movements it can be automatic, including to "engage" someone in combat. It is a good idea to resort to rolls when there is uncertainty, such as engagement versus avoidance. In my game, I tend to refer to following distances: • Engaged, Adjacent: typically within 10 feet (but from 0 feet occupying the same space to 20 feet if extending reach) • Near, Close Range, Move, Weapon "Throw": typically within 30 feet (but includes 20 to 60) • Far, Short Range: typically 100 feet (but includes 60 to 200) • Far, Mid Range, "Bow Shot": typically 300 feet (within an accurate arrow, but includes 200 to 600) • Far, Long Range: typically 1000 feet (but includes 600 to 2000) • Remote (anything beyond, to any distance) The "Far" distances happen rarely but sometimes come into play for spell descriptions and missile distances. For example, Fireball is a Short Range away, and affecting all "Adjacent" to the target of impact. Notably, a bow shooter can hit a spellcaster while remaining out of reach of spells. I might simplify the Far distances in the future, but to do so would affect the value of things like Drow darkvision and so on.
